Paul,
Last time I was in LA I picked up some parts from GSPP and didnt have much
problem. I only bought parts that were in stock and that I knew were
correct (tailgate and some other bed parts). They seemed to have the best
prices for most of what I needed. I also bought some stuff from The Truck
Shop in Orange and found them very helpful. There is also a company in
Fullerton (CPP) which makes the brake kits and power steering units for
GSPP. These guys make great parts for brake and steering upgrades. For a
real treat though, you should make a trip to the Pomona Swap meet and
check them all out. GSPP and The Truck Shop bring LOTS of stuff for sale
(usually about 10% off). There are other vendors there too with lots of
parts available. The Bumper Shop and Bumper Boyz are there with lots of
chromed bumpers and grills for sale and/or exchange. Its worth the trip if
you havent been before.

Subject: [oletrucks] More Golden State Follies
In chatting off list with another oletruck listee, the "Tale of The
Gas Tank
Mounting Kit" came up, and I decided to post it hear as a further reason to
be
careful of the information you recieve at Golden State.
I asked what the Golden State Gas Tank Mounting Kit contained one
fine
morning while at the counter picking up previous B/Os. The kid on the other
side looked at the place in the Golden State catalog that my finger pointed
out, and after a period of confusion, consulting other staffers and paper
riffling informed me that this kit contained all the rubber parts required
to
R & R the gas tank. A week or so ago, I picked up the kit (B/Ordered of
course), and found that the kit had only the two steel mounting straps and
the
rubber pads that go under them. I went ahead and accepted the kit, chalking
the whole affair up to experience.
